The sazerac has been around since the middle of the 19th century. It was created by Antoine Peychaud, a pharmacist and an inventor of Peychaud’s bitters. This drink was originally made with cognac, in fact, it is named after a brand of cognac called Sazerac-de-Forge et Fils. But because of an insect epidemic in France which destroyed many vineyards, rye whiskey began to be used as a replacement. This cocktail is not for the faint of heart, but if you love a good whiskey cocktail, then give it a try!
